Kalo Water FX

Kalo Water FX lowers the spray water pH level to optimize the efficacy of insecticide, herbicide and fungicide products that perform better with a lower pH. Water FX is a blend of dry water-soluble granules that contain a nitrogen based water conditioner and acidifying agent. Water FX contains ammonium sulfate which neutralizes hard water minerals that can reduce the effectiveness of many plant control products.
